Science and Nature Term Papers and Reports
Saturn
954 Words - 4 Pages

.... , or 95.147 times the Earth's. Thus the average density is only 0.69 g/cu cm , which is much less than water, indicating a very deep atmosphere and a very small core. Saturn is one of the giant outer planets, which are characterized by their large size, low density, and corresponding extensive atmospheres. Current models of the interior indicate that below the relatively thin opaque cloud layer is an extensive, clear hydrogen-helium atmosphere. Data on the internal heat flux, the detailed gravity field, and the observed upper-atmosphere hydrogen-helium ratio satisfy a model of the interior where the ratio of hydrogen to helium decreases with depth. The gas density gradual ....


Large Mouth Bass
1850 Words - 7 Pages

.... family. It is found in every aquatic habitat from small streams the the largest resevoir, and almost everything in between. Up north the has a longer lifespan than in the south, at sixteen years old. While it may get older up north the size of the bass is larger in the south. This is so because there is more to eat. The sexual characteristics of the bass remain the same nort and south. The spawn in the spring, when water temperatures begin to move past sixty degrees fahrenheit. The spring spawning urge in a bass is set off by both water temperature and photoperiod. Photoperiod is the proportion of the day in which the bass are exposed to sunlight. As the day light h ....


Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
589 Words - 3 Pages

.... cause of mental retardation in the Western World. For a positive diagnosis of FAS, in addition to a history of maternal alcohol use during pregnancy, each of the following three categories must be present: 1. slow growth before and after birth including weight, height and/or head circumference, 2. facial dysmorphology such as thin upper lip, flattened philtrum, and/or short openings between eyelids, and 3. damage to the central nervous system. Diagnosis can be difficult because many of the critical diagnostic features change with age. It is most difficult to diagnose in newborns and adults. Reaching an FAE diagnosis is even more difficult because only some of the symp ....


Cardiac Pacemakers
2766 Words - 11 Pages

.... of the heart. Today, some half a million men and women, most of them over the age of sixty, carry implanted that take over the duties of the natural conduction system. Tens of thousands of these devices are implanted each year in this country alone. Over the past thirty years have evolved from simple devices only capable of fixed-rate stimulation of a single chamber of the heart to more sophisticated "implanted computers" that medical personnel can interrogate and reprogram from outside the patient's body. These refinements have allowed for more physiologic pacing with maintenance of atrioventricular synchrony and cardiac output. There are various types of available ....


Greenhouse Gases And Consequences
1452 Words - 6 Pages

.... and for this reason can be absorbed by certain gases in the atmosphere, labelled greenhouse gases. This absorption of heat warms up the atmosphere, which in turn radiates some of the heat back to the earth. Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), chloroflurocarbons (CFCs), Ozone (O3), and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). It all seems very straightforward: greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat, warming the planet sufficiently for life to exist. There is, however, one problem: human activity has dramatically increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Over the last two centuries the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has ....


Heart Murmurr
888 Words - 4 Pages

.... with a heart murmur have innocent murmurs. There are several different types of innocent murmurs. In the newborn and infancy period, a common innocent murmur heard is called pulmonary flow murmur. This is caused by the flow of blood through the pulmonary artery, which takes blood to the lungs. The arteries are still slightly narrow, and, therefore, blood flow through them will cause a murmur. As the baby grows, the murmur will become softer and many times disappear altogether. Another common innocent murmur heard in children ages 3 to 8 years is a vibratory musical murmur called a Still's murmur. No one knows the cause of the murmur other than blood flowing through a healthy ....


Reproduction: A-Courting To Nature!
961 Words - 4 Pages

.... these are not the imaginings of some Disney screen-16 writer. Decades ago Konrad Lorenz, a famed Austrian naturalist, made detailed studies of Greylags and afterwards showed no hesitation in using words like love, grief and even embarrassment to describe the behavior of these large, social birds. At the same time he did not forget that all romance - animal and human - is tied intimately to natural selection. Natural selection brought on the evolution of males and females during prehistoric epochs when environmental change was making life difficult for single-sex species such as bacteria and algae. Generally, these reproduced by splitting into identical copies of themselve ....


Robert Wright's Article "The Evolution Of Despair"
825 Words - 3 Pages

.... burdened by an overwhelming flurry of daily commitments or stifled by a sense of social isolation; whether mired for hours in a sense of life's pointlessness or beset for days by unresolved anxiety; whether deprived by long workweeks from quality time with offspring or drowning in quantity time with them – whatever the source of stress, we at times get the feeling that modern life isn't what we were designed for" (1). Everyone, at some point, has experienced the feelings that Wright describes. And with the pronoun ‘we' Wright tells his readers, ‘Yes, I have been through the same things.' This sort of statement is like a token of good will. T ....
